Dear 4-H Members, Families, Leaders and Friends,
While it may still be brown and muddy outside, spring and summer are on their way! This means we are
already busy planning an excellent camp experience for St. Croix County youth in grades 3rd – 8th.
If you or your child has never experienced the joys of 4-H Camp, you may be asking yourself:
“Is 4-H camp fun?” ~ Most Definitely!
“Do we play a lot of games at 4-H Camp?” ~ Of course we do!
But don’t forget to also ask yourself:
“Does 4-H camp teach life skills?”~ Absolutely!
Like other 4-H projects and activities, 4-H camp is centered on the idea of providing youth a fun, hands-on
environment to build and strengthen valuable life skills. According to a large research study by the American
Camp Association, summer camps positively affect children in the following ways:




Children become more confident and experience increased self-esteem.
Children develop more social skills that help them make new friends.
Children grow more independent and show more leadership qualities
Children become more adventurous and willing to try new things.
A Virginia study suggested that a primary benefit of 4-H Camp participation is related to:
RESPONSIBILITY
Youth report: “becoming more independent and capable of self-care.”
Adults report: “youth taking care of their own things, sharing work responsibilities, and taking initiative
on their own.”
Camp is another great way 4-H enables youth to learn and practice skills to be productive citizens. See the
enclosed 4-H Camp information and how to sign up today!

celebrate National Volunteer Week; April 12-18 all
your hard work and dedication doesn’t go unnoticed!

I hope that everyone has been out with their cameras
taking pictures this year! One thing to always
remember is that the judges like to see pictures of the
winter months along with the summer months.
State Fair Qualification –
Demonstrations
The first County Meeting will be for any and all
members. I do recommend that First and Second
year Project Members attend to get some of the
basics down and there will also be things for the
members that have been in the project for Three or
more years!
More Details Coming Soon
There are now two ways to qualify to participate at
the Wisconsin State Fair in Demonstrations.
1) Attend the County Mini-Talent Explosion for
judging and receive recommendation for state fair
attendance
2) NEW - Members can be recommended by their
club general leaders as state fair participants.
Members MUST demonstrate at the club level and
receive recommendation by the general leader by
June 1 of that calendar year. General leaders must
provide feedback on the demonstration criteria
worksheet currently used at the county judging event
and contact the office by the deadline to indicate their
approval for your demonstration to move onto the
state fair competition.
The other County Meeting will be held in June. A
date has not been set for this yet and in the past we
have done it on a Wednesday evening after school
has been let out for the summer.
Alternative Project forms are on the Facebook page
or can be sent to you if needed. All Alternative
Project forms are due on June 15th and there are no
exceptions this year! I am so happy to be seeing
members already working on this ~ AMAZING!!!
I would like to hear from some people on this so I
know if I should try to plan an outing or two! I am
also interested in doing some “Site Photography
Outings” with some photographers! Does this sound
interesting to you? Please email me or Facebook me
on the site and let me know if you would be
interested. Parents and members are all welcome and
the first place we are thinking of is to go to Como
Zoo sometime in May. This would be on a Saturday
afternoon I believe.
Please be advised that State Fair participation is the
responsibility of the member which includes travel
expenses and arrangements to and from the
Wisconsin State Fair. Cost of staying at the Tommy
Thompson Youth Center (approximately $35/night
and includes three meals in the cafeteria) is also the
responsibility of the member. State fair participation
for demonstrations varies from 2-3 nights at the state
fair and includes an educational curriculum on public
speaking. Members at the state fair demonstrate a
total of three times over three days.
Our email is sccphotographyproject@gmail.com and
the Facebook page is
SCCPHOTOGRAPHYPROJECT (request to join and
you will be accepted!).
Kay Jacobsen ~ County Photography Project Leader
The demonstration opportunity at the Wisconsin
State Fair has been known to be an incredible

protect the American food supply, and give choices
to consumers.
Cattle from outside Wisconsin must:
 Be accompanied by certificate of veterinary
inspection (CVI) documenting official
animal ID and all required tests and
certifications
 Have at least one form of official individual

ent/Cattle_Bison)
Producers (youth exhibitors) need to provide
documentation of the origin of their project animal.
You do not need to bring additional information to
the first weigh-in. (Remember, if you purchased
your animals from out of state, you need to bring
along the import data that is required by DATCP.)
For more information on COOL visit:
http://www.ams.usda.gov. There is NO SWINE
allowed originating from outside Wisconsin for the
2015 fair.

Wisconsin
 USDA metal ear tag number that is part of
the National Uniform Eartagging System
